Narrative mystifications in the cinema of Alejandro González Iñárritu

Abstract

The film by Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu is an example of postmodern fiction that combine the classical models of institutional representation with multiframe fragmentary narrative schemes. In our work we try to explain the narrative models that coexist in Iñárritu's films, from the most realistic faithfully following the principles of André Bazin, to more formal models use abstract mounting, deconstructive style. Above all, we will try to deduce which ones are the narrative criteria that leads the director in each choice pursuing a global comprehension of cinema.
